I'm a bit confused as to what you're trying to achieve here? Copying files to/from a PC to/from a QL?
Basically yes - Di-rens fileserver program allowed you to use the PCs hard drive as storage for the QL - useful for backups at least - no need for a QL emulator and all the header info etc was automatically stored and retrieved when you tried to copy files back from the PC to the QL.
Would be useful still for people with basic QLs (with Hermes / SuperHermes of course) who can't find a miracle hard disk and don't want to put the QL in a case... (unless someone knows of a source of external hard disks that can work with QubIDE??)
